Deltec Launches Affordable, Super Efficient, Net-Zero Energy Homes

Where increasing climate challenges and carbon footprints are disturbing everyone today, net-zero energy homes are like a breath of fresh air.

Deltec, an Asheville, North Carolina-based company, is making affordable net-zero energy houses. They provide the structural shell of a home, and with their ‘Renew collection’ and innovative designs, they have taken prefabricated home design to a new level.

Here are some of Deltec’s distinctive features:

The company constructs their durable homes by using the highest quality materials. All of their houses are prefabricated in factories that are 100% powered by clean energy and they prevent an average of 80% of construction waste from going to the landfill.

Deltec offers a wide variety of choice including round, modern, or traditional designs. To cater to the tastes and requirements of different people, the Renew Collection has nine new models.

The Renew Collection makes its net zero energy homes by making use of solar energy with photovoltaic panels and are designed in a way to maximize energy efficiency without compromising on livability. To increase the energy efficiency, Deltec made use of passive design concepts like a tight building envelope, high-performance insulation, solar home orientation, and natural ventilation.

These homes are affordable, as the prices of the home kits start under $100,000. Moreover, building a net-zero home helps you to get rid of outrageous energy bills…reducing further the cost of ownership.

The best feature is that these homes can be constructed in a matter of days.
